I jumped aboard the Baker Mayfield bandwagon about eight months ago while writing Cleveland Browns: Include Baker Mayfield in the QB draft debate for DPD.
At the time, plenty of NFL talking heads doubted Mayfield because of his 6-foot-one-ish height.
A lot of them were pretty ruthless about it, too, the guiltiest of them being sports TV/Radio and renown blabberhead Colin Cowherd.
On June 19, Cowherd tweeted…
Marginal size and athleticism isn’t a NUMBER ONE pick. In any draft. In any sport. https://t.co/U74000ndM2

…to which Mayfield replied:
